Has your computer suddenly started to misbehave? Has it started freezing, crashing, or displaying messages on the front of the dreaded and infamous ‘Blue Screen of Death’ (BSOD). If so then you may well be about to experience problems with your storage device and should consider consulting the professionals; namely our team of professional data recovery Kilkeel engineers.

A lot of computer users, it is fair to say, continue to use their computer after they have been witness to any of the aforementioned afflictions. For many these are minor irritations that can be dealt with by a simple restart but over time this continual rebooting will lead to further hardship and potentially fatal loss of data. Our data recovery team are regularly asked to recover data from hard drives that have failed after a computer has frozen, crashed or ‘warm booted’ itself following a hardware conflict, software or drive conflict, or unexpected error.

Our data recovery Kilkeel engineering team understand only too well the temptation to continue working if your computer suddenly freezes or reboots. The common consensus among many users is that the problem is only a temporary one and that everything will work out for the best but in reality these problems occur as precursors to more serious issues that will arise and take hold if not dealt with sooner rather than later. /p>

The effects of a warm boot or sudden freeze

They may sound like contradictory terms but both are perfectly viable and often our data recovery Kilkeel engineers are told that such events have occurred prior to a major fail when it comes to an internal hard drive. A ‘warm boot’ best describes the sudden restart of a computer without user intervention when the user will find that the task they were in the middle of has suddenly failed and the computer is restarting of its own accord. Similarly a sudden freeze is when the computer ceases to function without allowing the user the opportunity to do anything including save or close a document or file. Both can have damaging effects on the internal hard drive, leading to issues with head and spindle damage, platter misalignment or the snapping of the actuator arm.

If you have experience problems similar to those listed above the likelihood is you will need the help of a professional data recovery firm. With that said our data recovery Kilkeel services offer you the best chance of making a full data recovery and at best only losing the drive on which it was saved. Call us today on 02890 961976 and speak to an engineer about the problems you are having. They will be able to offer you an initial assessment of the situation as well as a no obligation quote covering the cost of recovering the data to a new storage device. (An extra charge may be applicable if the drive has suffered mechanical damage which may make recovery not impossible but more difficult).

If happy with the quote we ask that you send the drive to us. You can do this by post (registering the item is preferred for your peace of mind) or by courier. Drop the drive into your nearest recovery centre if you live or work nearby. An engineer will carry out a full appraisal and provide you with an email that details exactly what data can be recovered (generally all of it). If this meets with your approval we ask that you make payment to us via credit card/debit card or BACS transfer and once the data is recovered we will return it to you via next day courier. Our data recovery Kilkeel centre landline is 02890 961976 and we are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, with engineers on hand waiting to answer your queries.
